        Has anybody out there done any significant analysis of the RC4 stream cipher? What I am interested in is the expected cycle length of the standard implementation (256 byte state table)? Working with the reduced sizes, the cycle length appears to grow exponentially, but I am unsure how to verify this. Have there been any other results surfacing besides the reports on weak keys? thx.
